The Transhuman Communist State of Minchioria is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by J Roland with an even hand, and notable for its daily referendums, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cheerful population of 21.681 billion Minchiorians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Porcòdia. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Minchiorian economy, worth a remarkable 5,863 trillion Talleroes a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Book Publishing industry. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is an amazing 270,463 Talleroes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Obstetricians are not allowed to publish ultrasound pictures of fetuses in medical journals, snooze factory is now prison lingo for rehabilitation center, elementary school students are required to master Bach's Chaconne in D before graduation, and five-year-olds who refuse to line up on command get gold stars. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Minchioria's national animal is the Pevasce, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Minchioria is ranked 29^th in the world and 1^st in The Internationale for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 18,291.64 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
